Very clean place. The cabines are very rustic and not soundproof. But, it’s a good value for money as it’s walking distance to a lot of things.

Fantastic property! Close enough to La Fortuna activities, yet away from the busy streets in downtown. Breakfast was great, more than many other hotel options. 2 days of rain so we didn't have volcano views but our stay with our daughters was great!
